I carried mine uphill, but not as far as you'd have to--and I was only 25 or so at the time :)Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-43212234149447919632013-01-22T21:06:36.169-05:002013-01-22T21:06:36.169-05:00Barbara, it probably makes it more like apple juic...Barbara, it probably makes it more like apple juice after it's canned, but I like it just as well. We also like to mix the cider with the grape juice I made last summer--talk about delicious! <br /><br />That horse story is strange, and there were other equally odd stories along with that one. In a history book yet. Don't you love it?<br />Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-51653233176435916292013-01-22T21:04:42.552-05:002013-01-22T21:04:42.552-05:00Lara, sometimes I think we lived a storybook life ...Lara, sometimes I think we lived a storybook life in those first years--certainly idealistic and in many ways unrealistic, but such memories! We survived somehow :) <br /><br />I will continue to visit you and see how you are getting on. One step at a time.

All the trees are down hill though which means all the sap would need to be carried up That makes it slightly less interesting!warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03927162550870912773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-22915242973476144382013-01-22T19:27:48.652-05:002013-01-22T19:27:48.652-05:00Today's post has lots of surprised.

You must have several huge crock pots for that many beans.<br />I've used the crock pot for them and it's a good tool to use.<br />Great lettuce story. Glad to hear you had lettuce this late. Never heard that before.<br />So enjoyed reading this. Blessings for your sharing heart. BarbB.
